               The references relied on by the examiner are:                          
          Fuller et al. (Fuller)        5,224,156                June 29,             
                                                                 1993                 
          Gordon et al. (Gordon)        5,291,302                Mar.  1,

               Claims 1 through 8 stand rejected under 35 U.S.C. §                    
          103(a) as being unpatentable over Fuller in view of Gordon.                 
               Reference is made to the briefs and the answer for the

                                       OPINION                                        
               We have carefully considered the entire record before us,              
          and we will reverse the obviousness rejection of claims 1                   
          through 8.                                                                  
               Fuller teaches that facsimile messages may be sent from                
          one location to another in a confidential manner.  Appellant
